Welcome to ALOHOMORA! We are an intermediate, non–canon Harry Potter inspired roleplay that takes place in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. From magical happenings to personal interactions, the site offers a casual slice of life experience for its members. If you're interested in complex characters, good writing, and creating your own elaborate plots, then ALOHOMORA may be your RP home!

Interested? Read through our informational threads and say hi to us in the cbox! We hope to see you around.

ACTIVITY LOG 11, 02/15 — It's that time again! Please reply to our latest activity log by the 28th of this month in order to save your characters! If you want a quick way to gather posts, you may also want to check out our current event.

POST LOG UPDATE, 02/01 – With the log closed, we've made a few updates regarding faculty, claims, and more! Check it all out here!

With the latest log closed, the staff have decided it's time for Alohomora to do an update! We've listed all the changes we're implementing below , and if you have any questions, feel free to PM a staff member for help! We'll be more than happy to help!

FACULTY

With the limited amount of faculty positions available, the staff have added a limiter on the amount of faculty each member can have. You can see it in the guidelines, or read below for a quick update!

Due to the limited faculty positions in Hogwarts, each member is only allowed three Hogwarts faculty, so others have a chance to create one. In addition, each member may only have one core class professor.

Naturally, we won't punish anyone for not following these rules from before, but going forward, we will adhere to our new policy!

Similarly, in effect to make faculty positions more accessible, professors have the option of hiring a TA or assistant professor. If you have a professor who would hire one, post in the faculty claim, so new and other members are aware.

As not very professor will have or want one, this is not required – merely a way to provide more opportunities for others to have faculty characters if they so desire.

CLAIMS

Due to the inefficient way the class claim was set up, we've updated it with a new format! As this has erased all names from the roster, please refer to this album of screenshots if you need a record of what classes your character(s) are taking.

Quidditch captain positions now must be purchased after acceptance due to the House-specific association. This will minimize confusion or insignificant pend notes citing that the selected House's quidditch captain position is already filled.

BANS & OTHER NOTICES

Due to questions concerning races, we have also updated the FAQ thread with some answers. If you have any other questions, or see one asked that's not listed, don't hesitate to PM VIV to get it added!

Seers have been added to the bans. You will now need to purchase a ban override in the store to make one. This also means they will not qualify for a freebie until the ban is lifted.

Additionally, werewolves have also been banned due to their sheer numbers. Likewise, a ban override is necessary to have one, both before acceptance and during rp.

Pureblood families whose line has or will end with it scurrent members will not be listed. This is to prevent dead-end families taking up spaces for pureblood families that could otherwise go to families that are open to new family members.

The staff would again like to thank you all for your continued activity, even through busy months. You all have been wonderful, and you make running this site exciting and fun. We hope that Alohomora will continue to grow for months and years to come!

If you have questions or comments, feel free to contact a staff member, or reply here.
